Kyla(she/her/hers) is originally from the Philippines but has spent more than half of her life in Southern New Mexico. Kyla graduated from NMSU in 2021 and is excited to be working with her community, and to connect more people with the outdoors after learning more about public lands through her job with Friends of the Organ Mountains-Desert Peaks. She believes that public lands have a role in making others understand the importance the environment is in their lives. Learning is one of her biggest motivators and spends her free time reading and listening to podcasts.
